Okay so I chuckled a little this afternoon while watching the pompus Wolf Blitzer on CNN and they have this email question called the Cafferty Report. It is interesting but it was discussing the latest missive from Bin Laden’s group and how they were calling on all Arabs to rush and aid their brothers Hezbollah.
The question was asking if perhaps the Media was placing too much emphasis on these missives and making more out of them than they deserved.
Ya Think?
Gawd, talk about absolute morons. Of course the Media makes more out of the news in most cases than it deserves. I mean the way stations and reporters act, you would think the whole world is going to explode in a second or two, with video at 11 even! Yes, the Media can accept a great deal of blame for some of the absolute bullshit that is going on around us today.
I mean they confuse and speculate so much that who the fuck knows anymore what happened or where even. Listening to them as they report the Middle East news and it is how they use the words that conveys their intent, not the truth, but what they hope you will buy into. No wonder so many are confused, but hey, it is how they make their living I guess.
The downside is though that they also make it hard for reality to set in, or for honest real solutions take hold. One so called expert on CNN (from the USA) claims that Hezbollah wore down Israel and is the only Arab force to have gotten Israel to back down. Like yeah of course the pressure of the United States and the European Union didn’t have anything to do with it. Nor I suppose the now obviously useless promise by those same meddlers to disarm Hezbollah as a part of that Israeli withdrawal, one that now is made out to be a retreat.
How glib and stupid these so called experts are. They aren’t there, nor are they living it. How many of these Middle East experts on the news media for example have even spent any time in that region beyond a day or two? if any days that is.
So seems to me that yep, the media does indeed make more out of things, that is what they do best.
